The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Caldron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by previagent keeping your brain healthy. As I
was meandering, I don't usually meander any place, but walking from one room
to another upstairs, downstairs and looking outside my studio windows, just capturing the
first signs of fall. Really here it was in California, Yeah, kind
of it was. It's been a late fall, which I'm thankful for the
temperatures here where I am this week, in the fifties at night, in
the seventies during the day, which is great for getting caught up on some
of the farm things that haven't been doable this season, at least so far.
And then I'm looking at the orange colored as I look how the sun
is just sort of coming up. There's some great big maple trees out behind
me and they've just started to turn and some of the leaves are falling off.
But it's just this is a is you embrace it so well, Jay,
it's a beautiful time. The other colors now that's sort of there later
because we've had so much moisture in the air because it's still warm. So
it's and I'm as far as I'm concerned to say, okay with me.
We have the color changes and they are just so vibrant and I love and
you are driving down a road where there really are no buildings around. It's
just those trees. You get all of the different colors, not just the
typical golds and oranges and reds, but you get some of those pinks or
those really deep purples. Yeah, they are magnificent. Plus this is the
gateway to winter. Yay boo boo. By boo you mean woohoo, that's
a witch in front of that? Is that what it is? Okay,
you're misfonencing it, Yes, exactly, all right. So let's as long
as we're in Ohio where you are talk about the abortion amendment. That's there.
It's a hot topic there and in essence, it's an election kind of
a thing. Whether people understand abortion or the anti abortion groups or the pro
whatever it is, reproductive rights. This is something that is for outside.
It looks at it's kind of heavy handed. So would you mind maybe you
I don't know, you know more about it or not just because you don't
Ohio doesn't mean necessarily that you know more about it. But this has been
something that's going on, and Ohio is a strange kind of a conundrum because
there's some very progressive parts of Ohio and there's some very you know, sort
of in the middle. It's a very polarly good way, So what's the
school There are a lot of conversations going on around this where we had a
special election the other month just to this on the docket, and it was
in the sense of not really getting this on the docket, but changing potentially
how this vote could go. Where it's always been the majority rules, the
fifty one percent to forty nine percent rules, but it was going to be
changed to a majority of the majority, which sounds good in theory, but
at the same time, it means that even less people could stop something or
block something. So it was to vote no if you were against that change,
and vote yes if you were for it. Well, this is kind
of like flip so anyone who voted no before would want to vote yes this
time. Anyone who voted yes last time would want to vote know this time.
And so some people are worried about the confusion. But then there's also
people who are against this are sending out a lot of different flyers with misinformation
on it, saying that this abortion amendment is what it actually isn't. Some
of the items are saying that you can do a late term abortion or a
partial birth abortion, which basically means like your baby's already being born and then
they can kill it, and that's that's doesn't exist. That that is entirely
illegal across the board. But again some people who may not know this and
don't want to do their own research. Another thing that is supposedly most people
don't want to do their own research. Most people follow along just to you
know, follow along goes, oh there's somebody I respect, I'll do what
he or she Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I typically like what this
person says. So if they say jump, II will ask how high?
Or I will I won't say how many times do you want me to jump?
And some of the other things are that some some are stating that are
against this are stating that this is also taking away parental rights if their child
wants to change their gender with an actual procedure or medical The word is black,
I mean not induction, but getting out help that they wouldn't meet a
parent's signature, and it is not the case. It's that is highly illegal
for minors to seek medical care without the authorization of a parent or a guardian's
right, Do you I shouldn't put it that way. Do you think that
it's right that an underage person youngsters should get parental approval before going through anything
like this as seriously or anything any medical procedure. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yes, I mean I am in agreement that even like anybody under the
age of eighteen needs the parental or a guardian to sign off on a tattoo
even ya okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I am in
that. But that's also not what this is saying. This amendments not saying
that. But that's some of the verbiage that's going around where people who are
truly against this are adding things that don't exist for this, yeah, persuade
exactly. People who are for this or are downgrading some of the issues that
do exist. In terms of some people use We've talked about this many times.
Some people do use abortion as the primary form of birth control. That's
wrong, but that's but you can't put everybody in that same category were regarding
things. And there are medical procedures. The the abortion procedure, it's a
d NC. Sometimes you have to have that medically speaking, not just because
you're choosing to abort the baby. I had a DNC and my baby was
already dead, but my body wasn't getting the memo and passing it. So
I had to have that procedure. And it's one of those things that some
people say that you shouldn't have that procedure, should be banned entirely. No,
some man is saying that, No, there are a lot of women
that feel this way too. Yeah, well that's and it really is one
of those things of people can only see at one way and people who are
against this or are seeing people as killing babies who are being born, or
people using it as a primary form of birth control, and there are so
many other reasons for this, and then other people are seeing it as you
know, people can do this, Willie million. That shouldn't be the case
either. Okay, so you spent six minutes explaining this so well in a
way that people, probably many people listening right now, hundreds if not thousands
of people say I didn't know that, or I didn't think of it that
way. And the thing that's important about it, One of the many things
is that Ohio is the only states where voters will decide in the election next
month whether abortion ought to be legal, And so there's a lot of discussion
on radio programs. Certainly there there are still rules and regulations around it,
like if the fetus is viable, you cannot get an abortion. That is
still very illegal even if this passes. Yeah, anyway, so there is
this and the thing that bugs me about it. There are many things about
it that bug me, but one of them I have a very strict,
strict but I've strong feelings about the whole business of where life begins and what
ought to be done. I am not a I'm not a proponent of abortion
by any stretch of the imagination. But the other side of it is that
I don't believe it's up to me to decide. It's up to the person
who is carrying the baby. I hopefully would be up to the person who
impregnated the person who has the baby then and the doctor with an intelligent way
of looking at this stuff so that there isn't stuff going on that is inhumane.
Maybe yes, And I have to say personally speaking when it comes to
anybody who is in the camp. But they want to save the babies.
They don't want abortions because babies have a right to survive. Your adopted.
I want to hear more, Yeah, I want to hear more conversation on
what happens to those babies after birth. I want to hear more about what
we are doing in the foster care system and making it easier for people to
adopt children, but also protecting those children from being adopted into abusive households.
Man, it's such a lot of crap bowler going on, isn't there.
Then you get down to it all right. That was a great overview.
Thank you Jay for taking it bringing it to light. Was on this date
in two thousand and four, Ashley Simpson got caught lip sinking on SNL.
She was nineteen at the time, and then she did a hoe down.
She says, I made a complete fool of myself. Who this became.
I don't know. I just saw this out of the corner of my eye
and I'm thinking to myself, I remember, frankly, what a big to
do. It was in the same legue as shinead O'Connor riving up the Pope's
picture on SNL. It registered with that quantity of focus. And I'm trying
to remember why, but I don't know she was. I remember why.
It was a big deal. It was just a big deal. And Ashley
Simpson was not the first person to get caught lip syncing. We have seen
time and time again. Yeah, people they forget that they're supposed to start
singing, or different missteps or whatever. And I think maybe it was so
big because they straight up just played the wrong song. Like it was just
straight out played the wrong song and there was nothing she could do. So
she did this weird like little hodown move and then it just kind of like
shrugg her shoulders and walking off the stage. Was she under more of a
microscope because she's Jessica Simpson's little sister, But you better believe she never lip
sync again. Now where is she now? That would be the question,
where is Ashley Simpson these days? Are stripid perform me? She's still she
was acting and singing, and I think she's still doing something along the circuit.
She is Diana Ross's daughter in law. Oh, I didn't know that,
really. I see the Supreme Court has blocked restrictions on the Biden administration
effort to get platforms to remove social media posts. That's a lot of words.
Okay, let's take that apart a little bit, right, But didn't
that already happen were social media? Wasn't social media, especially Twitter, found
out that that's what they were doing. Yeah, and regarding another Biden member,
Yes, who would that be? Oh? Who oh, who oh?
Who could that be? Anyway, So the Supremers have blocked in full
a lower court ruling that would have curbed the administration's ability to communicate with social
media companies about contentious content. Why should they? This is something the Supreme
Court is one hundred percent right on. I don't know what the vote was.
What was the vote? It was it six to three or something?
I see that something like that. They agreed to immediately take up the government's
appeal, meaning it will hear arguments and issue are ruling on the merits in
this term between now next June. Let's see. They I find this troubling.
The should be in my mind, in my world, if I were
king of the world, there would be who the hell do these people think
they are? Yeah? That they want to remove social media. You're Nut's
none of your business. And that's the thing. It's less of a story
that the Supreme Court is blocking this and more of the story that it was
trying to in the first place, right exactly, Yeah, that is correct.
This is a scary move on the part of these people. And if
you don't think they're all about controlling descent and controlling what you think and controlling
control the media, who does that sound like? Yeah, it doesn't sound
like anybody in this country that I want to vote for. Frankly, this
is the worst some one of the Missouri Attorney General, Andrew Bailey said,
quote, this is the worst First Amendment violation in our nation's history. We
look forward to dismantling Joe Biden's vast censorship enterprise. See this is this is
Susan Rice. This has got Susan Rice written all over it. Not so
much Joe. I don't think Joe thinks these things through. Even I don't
think he gives a damn. But all the people who are around him,
my sense of him is that he's a puppet. And maybe that's This isn't
the place for this kind of discussion, but I find that this stuff is.
It's so intrusive, so un American, so wrong that this should be
even something that got to the Supreme Court. Whether they would that even these
people took credit for it in the administration, that's what was more, Yes,
troubling, that they got the balls them to stand up there and say,
Okay, we're going to curb freedom of speech. Uh huh. Absurd
isn't even a strong enough word for this, And that's my favorite word.
Is it absurd? Is it really absurd? Oh, it's a great word.
Happy birthday today to listeners. Daniel Mead, Dan Marion, Laura Zangy,
Chris CASSELLA. Hey, good heavy birthday to you. Happy birthday today
is my oldest niece's sixteenth birthday. Really sweet, happy birthday. We sang
heavy rotated my son who is turned in gulp forty seven this weekend. Hei
yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. A picture on Did you like that picture
of my two grandsons that were sort of figuring out they were playing Miles and
Miles, the older one and Jasper. Indeed, they're so stinking cute.
They look like brothers. Oh yeah, and they act like brothers. So
on the right hand side is a garbage truck and Jaspers just figured out what
it's all about Garb's truck. Let's say he called any points to it.
So we were playing with that incessantly over the weekend. So it's kind of
a cute picture. You want to check it out all over our social media
at good Day Networks. There's a saying, and most of us have heard
it, and maybe most of us have used it. You snooze, you
lose. But things are not necessarily that black and white these days. I
have said that many times on this program. You miss what is the old
expression, you miss a minute, you miss a lot. Well, there
is some research out this week that finds that snoozing that is clicking your alarm
clock. So if you have to have it, I don't usually need an
alarm. Once in a while, we've I'm usually wait before the alarm,
like this morning. With some days, we've had a few incidents where I
have, for whatever the reason, just kind of gone off and there are
we always do that, right, Yeah, especially when you find that warm
pocket, comfy spot. Oh yeah, a couple of pillows you're wrapped around
you. Yeah, it's wonderful. So anyway back to the research, finds
this snoozing or maybe not always using an alarm clock. In other words,
letting yourself sleep a little bit longer doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get better
sleep, but you're going to be that you will benefit from that extra couple
of minutes, Right, we all turn the alarm clock off, and okay,
just give me a couple more minutes, you know that. And so
anyway, there's a study. There are actually a couple of them involving seventeen
hundred adults. Seventy percent of participants reported sometimes snoozing or setting the alarm clock
again. The average snooze time was twenty minutes. The most common reason for
hitting the snooze button included being too tired to wake up, wanting to wake
up more slowly, waking up more softly, and some just said it simply
feels good. But like, think about this, even people who have a
hard time falling asleep, When you are asleep and something wakes you up,
like your alarm, yeah, and you hit the snooze button, you can
easily fall back asleep because you're not truly one hundred percent awake. You're so
kind of like you're you are awake, but you're not fully awake, so
you're more easily getting back into that sleep, and you can stript into that
deeper sleep, and then when you are waking up, you're waking up in
a deeper part of your rum cycle rather than the softer or the lighter part
of your rem cycle. Even though you're not like fully into it yet there
hasn't been enough time, but it's enough to like really just make you groggy
and your face hurt and you feel foggy, and it's kind of like you
feel worse than if you had just woken up. Yeah, cool, all
right, anyway, cool, that's cool. That is cool. I me.
Milwaukee Comic book shop looking to sell a rare copy of its of the
first appearance of Spider Man Spidery Collector's Edges. The shop they've acquired a copy
of Amazing Fantasy number fifteen, the comic book written by Stan Lee, who's
probably the most iconic of all of the comic writers. Don't you think this
particular copy was published in nineteen sixty two, And anyway, it's the photos
of this. It's just a big to do another one of these things that
amazing people with amazing amounts of money spend amazing at three point There was a
near perfect copy that sold a couple of years ago on an auction in Texas
for three point six million. This is a perfect copy, so they think
it could go for well, I don't see a number attached to it.
Some people say about like thirty five thousand, yeah, yeah, but how
does that relate to the one that was sold for three point six million.
I don't get that. What's the Why would they be sure if it's for
Yeah, I don't either. Anyway, I'd bring it up because it just
is so it seems so amazing. I'm not sure. Yeah, one of
the different the different copies of the different ones. I'm not sure what is
this is just the first appearance of Spider Man maybe, but yeah, And
I always find it fascinating. Whoever originally buys a lot of this stuff,
Maybe you think, oh, this could be worth a lot of money someday,
but you never really know. And then I don't know, just the
stress of making sure you keep it in mint and pristine condition on the off
chance that it does become truly worth something, all right, exactly. The
Chevron Oil Company has bought Amarada Hess Okay, sit down. Wait till you
hear the number. You ready. This is another oil company buying another It's
like when Mobile, let's see Exon bought Mobile and they spent it was like
five or six billion dollars thirty five years ago. It's peanuts. Chevron is
paying Almarada Hess fifty three billion dollars for their their production. They're offshore drilling.
They've got an oil shale play in North Dakota. They're drilling in the
Gulf of Mexico, they're drilling in Thailand. They're drilling all over the place.
So they're going to grow production this way and it'll mean you'll pay more
money for your gas or later system. It's amazing how this by the way,
the Hess family started this kid. I think he's the grandson fellow who's
the chairman now of the CEO of hes John Hesse. I believe he's the
grandson of the founder of the Amorata Hess. It's a huge company, but
most you didn't really know it existed, and it kind of went back into
they sold off the gas station. Remember there used to be a lot of
I don't know they did where you were, but where I was with a
lot of Hess it's like sort of a regional Laghetty was regional for a while.
Gulf oil is still regional where I am. And what it points to
is there's another announcement was made this week. I was talking about Exon Mobile.
They're buying Pioneer Natural Resources for sixty billion, right, I mean,
look at these numbers, the nuts and they'll all be the assets get blended
in And as you know, or maybe you don't know, all the refineries
work for all of the companies. So you go into brand X, you
think that you are buying different gasoline than at brand. Why no, it
all comes out of the same refinery. All gasoline is the same. Sometimes
there are additives that are added to a particular brand that they can use to
promote. But if you think you're buying better quality gas, you're paying Let's
say you think you're a loyalist to a mobile and because there are always ten
cents more than everybody else any place, they are, so you're paying ten
cents more better, it's better quality. Nonsense. The difference is in the
store part itself, on the gas stations. Yeah, right, it's the
fact that you know the guy down the street who is all by himself has
one long gas station and he competes. We have one of these in framing
him. The lowest gas price is around. The guy says he's a friend
of mine. I said, how much do you make on the gas?
He had fourteen cents a gallon? Because the average is about forty cents.
We were talking about this the other day, and so I said, why
do you do it so cheaply? He says, because I want to be
known as the least expensive gasoline in Framingham. And I use it as a
lost leader. I saw lots of other things. People come in get their
cars serviced, YadA YadA. You know, there's a lot of You can
go to the car washes and get gasoline. Oftentimes it's a lost leader because
they make the money if they charge the nineteen dollars for car wash. I
brought my car. I sent one of the cars out to California that I
had here, and I went into the car wash yesterday with it. It
was nineteen dollars because I wanted to get the wheels done and all that stuff.
And then you figure out they recycle the water. They use the same
water over and over and over and over and over again to wash the cars
and there's just one guy who's slashing stuff on your car, and they do
on average a car a minute at those fast gas especially because people think they're
saving money because it's already there's already an up charge. So if you get
the gas and then purchase the car wash while you're at the pump, it's
like, well, you're saving one or two dollars rather than just purchasing the
car wash going through the car wash, when that's not really the case when
you do the math of it. No, but you know what, it
feels good, yes, because we like to save money. Even saving money
means we're paying more. It's like going to BJ's for gasoline or Costco.
I go went in call I buy my gas. It's at Costco on Washington
in the Marina, and there's always a line, but it's like fifteen to
twenty cents less. So I go in there because I think I'm saving money.
It's nonsense, not saving any money, but it saves money on the
single product, but you buy way more stuff than you needed. There's a
great on the History Channel. I woke up early Sunday morning and I was
watching the History Channel. The story of the origins of Walmart, Sam's Club,
Price Club, BJ's Costco. How they all came out of the minds
of the same two guys. Basically all of those stores came from two guys
who put the deals to put together and figured out how to make it all
work. It's fascinating to I think business like that in the origins of business,
just fascinating to you know, these are just regular people who have an
idea. Most of the time they don't have any money, and they get
somebody to help to invest in them. And then oftentimes the people who invested
made more money than the people who had the ideas. But it's fascinating to
look at how much they mark up, like Costco, their markups like three
percent or something crazy. But there's so much volume there. Wow. Anyway,

here, Jay, This portion of each hour is sort of dedicated to a
particular person or a thing that's going on in the world of social media trending
things, and Dolly Parton certainly would always be on the top of that list
when anything is being spoken about or she's speaking, she is there. So
Miley her goddaughter, right, Miley Cyrus and Dolly have teamed up again on
another Would you say this is kind of a classic tune? Anyway? Miley
has this song called Wrecking Ball, and there's a connection to a Dolly song
that line I will always love you. It doesn't sound like the original song
that Dolly came out with, but it's a reference. The two of them
singing it together repeated a couple of times in the song. All Right,
so what's the origin of this tune? Do you know? Jay? Yeah?
I Wrecking Ball was one of Miley Cyrus's, probably one of her biggest
hits. It's just it's such a great song. It's one of those ones
that you can jim out to, you can cry too, you can dance
to, you can belt it out. It's one of those songs that it
can fit whatever mood you are feeling. And Dolly Parton even said that when
she first heard the song, she knew immediately that she wanted to cover it,
she just didn't know how or when. And then when the rock Star
album started to come in to fruition, what's so cool about it comes out
next month is that she has a couple Dolly Parton has a couple of her
own original rock songs, but then she's doing a bunch of covers. But
she's not just covering these rock songs. She is having the original people do
wet them with her, which is just so neat. Like Miley here and
then there's Sting and Steven Tyler and Stevie Nicks and Pink and Brandy Carlisle and
Elton John. This would be just in time for Christmas. I'm sure there's
no coincidence in that. If you're a Dolly fan or a fan of any
of these big stares, yes, I would think they'd be eager also to
work with her. I think that that's what kind of makes it kind of
all stick together like glue. And it has to be such a full circle
moment because Miley Cyrus at all of her concerts, she does at least one
Dolly song. She is she grew up covering her quote unquote Aunt Dolly,
and now Aunt Dolly is covering a Miley. Isn't that neat? So it's
great. It's good to have good friends in high places right as they.
I wonder how much of an influence because Miley Cyrus a few years ago is
living kind of a wild and wooly life, right whether she was being young
and having fun, is that what it was? Is that how you described
that? I suppose, Yeah, But not everybody who's young has that kind
of fun. I guess it's up to the personality of the person involved.
Right, Let's not be judgmental, let's highlight the good stuff. So it's
great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing off

social media focus on what's trending in Paris. Hilton uh is tired of
criticism of her baby. I don't blame her. I haven't seen pictures of
the baby, the baby's name. He's adorable. Why are people so rude?
Because they're stupid, they have nothing better to do. Get a life,
for God's sakes. There are times in social media where somebody who maybe
is a medical doctor or their medical student or something like this, and they
see something in a photo they is questionable, and they reach out to the
person privately. And we've seen stories like this where somebody noticed an odd looking
mole or something where a child to look like they were laughing, but they
were actually having a seizure, and people have been helped. But when you
just have the run of the mill keyboard trolls who are just like, what's
up with your baby? Mind your own business? Yeah, he's adorable,
that's what's up with him. So Paris hill And apparently has taken to social
media and is calling out these people, and they're good. So just get
lost. He has a big head. A lot of babies have big heads.
Yeah, he's got a fine head. Now he used it to save
in the soccer game on Saturday afternoon. He's hit them from a goal.
There, there you go. All right, let's see up next. Mary
lou Retten, she was in the ICU because of some kind of an arthritis.
Is this one a rare form of pneumonia? Pneumonia? That was it?
Yeah? Yeah? And then she it wasn't looking good, and then
she seemed like she was bouncing back a little bit and then had another step
back. That was scary. And she wouldn't be that old. She had
fifty How old is Mary Lourettin? I want to say she's somewhere in her
fifties, fifty five. She was America's darling, no question about it.
She and maybe because of what she did in her life that caused their body
to, you know, to have far through the conditions. I thought that
was part of her problem. But now it's pneumonia. Yeah, I had
a rare form. I remember her doing the what was CVS called before it
was CVS, so it was called something out consumer values stores. Well,
no, that's what it stands for but it was they bought out something else,
and she always did the commercials for that other drug store. Oh and
I always, I always remember seeing her, and I still like, I
can still if I shut my eyes, I can still. No, it's
not writing. I'm not sure what it was Fox's drugs. No, I'm
not. I don't know. I remember. But she was a strong kid.
She did so well. And it was in the nineteen eighty four Summer
Olympics in Los Angeles that you remember her from. And so now I just
hold on, everybody, hold a good thought, because she's such a sweet
thing, all right, Mary lou Retten Good Thought. The next Stefan Good
